The Preschool Education Program (PEP) offers a variety of prekindergarten classes and services for children with disabilities ages 3 through 5. PEP serves children with multiple and/or moderate disabilities that impact the child's ability to learn. Services include instruction at home for medically fragile children, consultative and itinerant services for eligible children in day care centers and preschools, and classes for children who need a comprehensive approach to address their learning issues. PEP Intensive Needs classes serve children with severe sensory and/or communication issues. PEP Comprehensive classes offer services to students with a delay in more than one area. PEP Beginnings classes provide services to students with severe or profound physical and/or cognitive disabilities. Programs are offered at selected elementary schools in one or more quad-cluster administrative area(s). A two-day per week combination, special education/early childhood classes, is available for 3 year old children in seven locations.
Cashell Elementary is proud to offer the PEP-Comprehensive program for our community.
